    I was just talking to a few of my mates the other day and we were talking about some of the best crossers of the ball that have played or still play for Celtic.

    Obviously Guppy, Thompson and Naka spring to mind straight away but I was just wondering what ye guys think. Who are the best crossers of the ball who played for Celtic in recent times?

    Lubo with both feet and, going back a bit further, Tosh McKinlay had a brilliant delivery from the left.

    Lubo, Thommo and Naka are the ones that spring to mind first. Agathe's crosses were quite poor I thought. They got better as time went on, but he lacked a bit of end product in the crossing department.

    McGeady can have a brilliant cross at times.

    Goram actually brought that up in yesterdays press conference with himself and Pierre. Said McKinlay's delivery was superb at that time which you can't disagree with.

    When he was in the mood I always thought Petta had a good final ball in him.

    Can't believe nobody has mention Robson. Henrik had some cross on him to when he pick the ball up in wide areas.

    Best crosser of a ball I've seen in a Celtic jersey was Davie Provan.

    Yeah, Robson's crosses are very underrated imo.
